I keep seeing this term ppd in the group and didnt fully get what it means. Im due next month and want to be prepared mentally for everything after delivery. Can someone explain in simple words?
It is postpartum depression. Baby blues for a week or two is common, but if sadness, no sleep and hopelessness last longer, that needs a doctor, dont brush it off.
First of all, if you are feeling low after baby it is okay and you are not a bad mom. PPD is more than normal baby blues, and reaching out to your doctor for help is a strong thing to do.
PPD is postpartum depression, the deep sadness, crying and emptiness some of us feel after delivery. I went through it and I want to say it is real and it is not your fault. Please talk to someone, you are not alone.
